    Had to share but didn't know where to post

    I was on the way home from picking up pizza and had my father in law with me. I'm showing him the new car. He's a car guy...Camaro SS, Z06, and many others.

    Getting wax off of non- painted plastic trim????

    wax removal I use Zaino products on all of my cars and have been very happy thus far. I'm not sure what they used when they buffed it. Probably some sort of glaze/ wax...the surface was pretty slippery.

    Getting wax off of non- painted plastic trim????

    How do you remove wax or polish from all of the trim on this vehicle. The dealer I purchased mine from buffed the rear bumper to remove a scratch and got wax all in the textured lower section of the rear bumper cover. What would you use to get that crap out of there? Dean
